In 1988, Gale Anne Hurd launched a label No Frills Film, devoted to producing lower budget and independent films, usually with the nature of B-movie.[2] In 1993, No Frills Film was merged into Pacific Western Productions.[citation needed]
Five years later, Gale Anne Hurd formed another production label, Valhalla Motion Pictures, which was ultimately merged with Pacific Western Productions in 2000.[3] The same year it signed a first-look deal with Kinowelt USA,[4] which was acquired by StudioCanal[5] after Kinowelt was forced into bankruptcy.[6]
In 2001, Valhalla Motion Pictures launched a television division that its main focus was on producing television shows and movies for networks and syndication.[7]
Valhalla had an overall deal with Universal Cable Productions to develop new television and digital programs,[8] which was renewed in 2015.[9] Valhalla produced USA Network's drama series, Falling Water,[10] and Amazon's original series, Lore.[11]
In the comic book industry, Valhalla has created a six-issue mini-series comic book, The Scourge, for Aspen Comics, and a four-issue comic book mini-series, ANTI, for 12 Gauge Comics.[12] Dead Man's Run, which was created for Aspen Comics by Greg Pak.[13]

Notes
- Despite reportedly working extensively on the script, the Writers Guild of America decided not to credit Edward Norton as a writer, only crediting Penn,[14] arguing Norton had not dramatically changed Penn's script.[15]
